About

As a co-founder and Global Marketing Director of Hospitality Chain, Leisure Chain, World Freight Direct, & Global Waste Control, I’ve been involved in launching these platforms dedicated to the Hospitality, Leisure-Tourism, Freight-Logistics, and Waste Control industries. Our platforms go beyond traditional directories, offering interactive tools, industry news, and valuable resources to connect businesses and facilitate knowledge sharing. The Vision Behind the Platform We identified a need for a unified online space where interconnected industries could effectively engage. Our platforms integrate interactive features and industry-specific content, helping businesses stay informed and make better decisions. How the Platforms Work Designed for ease of use, our platforms allow users to navigate between industry sections with a few clicks. Users can search for products and services by category and country. Each platform offers up-to-date news, articles, and insights, ensuring access to relevant information and trends. Beyond Directories: A Hub for Industry Knowledge We set ourselves apart by providing a wide range of content, including articles to help businesses stay ahead. Our team curates high-quality, timely information to support an informed and connected business community. Building Strong Relationships Our platforms help businesses present themselves authentically, attracting partners and clients who share their values. We aim to strengthen industries by creating a space for collaboration and growth, benefiting both small and large businesses. Supporting Local and Global Economies By connecting businesses and offering cost-effective ways to showcase products and services, our platforms impact local and global economies. We support economic activity and growth, reinforcing the importance of these industries. Our Future Vision We are excited to enhance our platforms through technological innovations and expanded content. Staying true to our core values of honesty and inclusivity, we aim to positively impact the industries we serve and support global business success. Joseph's Corner: Non-Profit Organization I am also involved with Joseph's Corner, a non-profit offering free counseling services to families affected by addiction in Melbourne. Since 2001, we’ve provided a safe, non-judgmental environment with individual counseling, group sessions, workshops, and meditation. I started as a volunteer and joined the board in 2017, finding the experience profoundly rewarding as we make a real difference in our community.

Hospitality Chain.Com

2008-2 - Present · 18 yrs 8 mos

Melbourne, Australia

Hospitalitychain.Com is a Global Online Expo dedicated to all aspects of Hospitality. The World of Hospitality is a broad & diverse Global industry employing tens of millions & engaging many forms of related businesses, suppliers and services. Hospitality was created by explorers, travelers, & traders of all languages & cultures forming the welcoming of meet, eat, greet & a place to sleep. In modern times, hospitality is more than fine food, beverages and lodging. The Hospitality industry has many sectors as it also engages largely with the leisure & tourism industries, event management, schooling, specialized freight & logistics and the massive responsibility to its waste control and management. Hospitalitychain.com also features one of our most important sectors hospitalitycharities.com, a dedicated non for profit charity portal. This portal features Global food support, food banks, soup kitchens, homeless refuge shelters and mental health and well being organizations. Our Mission: To create the World’s first dedicated Global online expo featuring all aspects of the vast Hospitality industries. A massive undertaking encompassing only the premier products, suppliers & services of Hospitality and its interconnected industries. To become a voice & dedicated search platform not only connecting business to business, but to feature related articles and useful information such as our popular chefs biography portal. The Global concept was far too large for one major platform. Our foresight was to create interactive sites by simply clicking from one dedicated site to the next with total ease of navigation. Each site has its own dotcom and once you enter one site you can visit each site by clicking the icon at the footer of each page. We believe we have met our objective and have created a very useful asset for the World Wide Web. Best of all we support our premier listings by being one of the cheapest forms of online marketing by showcasing them 24/7/365 days of the year
